one of my issues is with the distorted voice commands and beep. i'm not sure if this is an issue without amplifiers, but it's pretty bad imo with them. normal audio is great, but any push of a button or voice command is distorted no matter what volume i set it at.

yes, my screen changes to map when using the phone too.

the ipod startup is horribly long.

i need to play with mic placement some. i can't seem to get much voice recognition to work.

Lost a bunch of our xm stations tonight. Had to shut the radio off and back on to get them back.

Also, clock is now wrong on this unit and changing it to auto or manual doesnt fix it. Was 2 hrs and some minutes off, after cycling between the 2 settings it is now only 10 mins off but can't get it to correct. Going to try hitting the reset button on here tomorrow.

Playing music from usb thumb drive tonight it kept stopping like a scratched cd.

If you go to settings and languages and change the voice to Samantha it will call out the names of roads for you. Unfortunately it says 1,2 instead of 1.2 but at least it tells me what road I am going to turn on

Also a couple of features I'd like to see added to the list sent to Pioneer:

1. the ability to turn off muting of music while nav is speaking like the z2 had.

2. button to turn off voice prompts while navigating

my unit is working ok... I expected it to be a little more hmmm whats the word.... well like a factory radio nav system. After market should be the best... I have to ask does Pioneer not have a R&D department to test these units? I mean of all the problems you are having they should have seen these already and fixed them. Contact your attorney generals office and file a complaint....then they will release better quality products the first time. I have since put my Z1 upgraded to a Z3 back in...
